Based on this I would SWAG that the rear is a 3.42. With 4.11s, using your procedure you would see a bit more than 12 turns of the driveshaft.

If you're planning to build a blown motor, IMO its best to start out with a purpose built motor. 9PSI is a lot of boost in a street run SC. You'll probably need a bit more than pump gas at that...

I realize 1969fi is a "supporting vendor" and all, but TTT'ing over 40 individual posts at pretty much the same time seems a little over the top to me, but that's just me.

Oddly, a $5k build ends up costing closer to 10, and a $10k build somehow ends up closer to 25k

So is a vote for 10, really implying 25?

I think it will depend on how tight the rest of your suspension is. If you replace a couple of bushings with poly's and have 35 year old ball joints and tierods, then you may not feel a difference.
